Scifiwire has a very similar interview (with a whole handful of extra sentences!) here. And while normally I wouldn’t bother with the seemingly duplicate interviews, this one is entirely worth it for the final paragraph where Alan reveals how Joss told him about Alpha, how he wanted Alan to play him…and how all of this happened while they were at Nathan Fillion’s house playing Pictionary.
(Aww, multiple-personality psychopaths and Pictionary. Love it!)
